I will leave the end of this sentence blank in order to fill in the spectrum of adjectives that I will be using to describe the month of November. I can foresee this month being amazing, creative, genius and frustrating, demanding and down right awful all at the same time. But, isn’t that what makes life fun.
Hear is my month by the numbers:
- 50,000 words to write for NaNoWriMo
- 16 chapters to critique for my awesome CP’s
- 8 chapters to edit for my awesome CP’s
- 15 blog post to clean up and finalize – they have already been written 🙂
- 2 Next Big Thing posts that I can’t put off any longer – Thanks Karen & Amanda
- 1 Cool Writing Exercise Challenge – Thanks again, Karen
- 2 NaNoWriMo Interviews – these are easy, I love talking about myself
- 1 Guest post for Mischa at My First Book
- 5 day business trip to conduct a 3 day golf show with 100,000 people
- 2 day fun trip to Xi’an China – I am going to see 8,000 Terracotta Army Soldiers
- 6 boxes to pack and ship to America from China – not as easy as it sounds

- Oh Snap! NaNoWriMo is Coming! from AM Schultz at HEADSPIT
- NaNoWriMo: I’m Only Going to Say this Once, Okay! from Catherine at Catherine, Caffeinated – thanks for saying it Catherine.
Editing post – I am going to empty out my cache of editing post for you to enjoy and so I can stop thinking about this for November. I still have some editing duties in November, but when I am writing I need to stay out of editing mode.

- A First Draft: The 6 (Minimum) Steps to Rvising Your Manuscript – great step by step editing process.
- Of Pens & Swords – I try and remember these tips when I am working with my CP’s.

I’m back on the fence about NaNoWriMo. I need to do it. I want to do it. But, going in for surgery on Nov. 2 might but a damper on it.
Either way, good luck and I look forward to regular updates on your progress.
Fel, take care of yourself, first.
Good luck with NaNoWriMo! I won’t take part, but I’ll be here to cheer you on 🙂
Thanks, EM.
Wow. You have a lot of work planned for November. If you want to be my NaNo buddy, I’m TonjaRey.
Hey Tonja, I will add you right now. I know, I just hope I finish it all. Then, I can relax in December.
Thanks for the shout out for my 7 Words that Weaken Writing post. Enjoy NaNoWriMo! It’s so much fun. I totally want to push my editing aside and write a new draft of something. But I *must* edit! Oh well. There is always next year! Enjoy!
Hey Jean, No problem. I am going to learn how to love editing, some day. I promise. But, tips like this make it easier to deal with. Thank you.
Wow, sounds like you’re gunna be busy! Lol
Good luck Sydney!
